I won't root for a LeBron team. And I really dislike Kyrie, KD and Harden with a passion.

Not a question. But it will be Dallas or Utah vs Brooklyn brother. LeBron cannot cover Mitch or Luka like he used to do with D-Rose and Westbrook. And they are pretty darn good shooters, especially in clutch, not only drivers.

The Lakers will sweep Por or Nuggets tho.

Jesus Christ...some fans in Utah sure are something when it somes to racism

Holy ****. Then you have the popcorn and spitting incidents already. The fans can go back home really. Stay in your damn covid hidey hole until you're ready to be a functional member of society.

Kyrie & KD were so visionary empty stadiums >>>>> fans

they don't have PJ Dozier or Will Barton either...two important pieces along with Murray.

They are beating the Blazers with Austin Rivers starting

Why doesn’t the NBA just separate the Nets and Lakers from the rest of the teams in the playoffs and have them exclusively face one another in their own special finals while having the other 14 teams compete with another? I feel like watching these 3 rounds is a waste because at the end of the day we already know who will be the last 2 teams standing.The NBA wants a Lebron/KD finals and they will make sure that they get one.

Never thought I’d be rooting for Dallas, but if they sweep the Clips, Kawhi would make us legit contenders for the title next year. And we have 3 firsts in our pocket this year and Dallas 2023, we can trade for a point guard.

Mitch.....Noel/Taj
Randle...Obi
Kawhi.....Bullock
RJ........Quickley
Trade....Rose

As much as I like Kawhi, the fact that he's clearly lost some steps over the years has me feeling nervous. It would totally be our luck to get Kawhi when he has broken down even more and we're paying him max money.

I am okay if we pass on him and just focus on development.

It isn’t a massive conspiracy, if they are the best teams they will get there. So far they are better than their opponents

[Riot Randolph]

I don't think it's a foregone conclusion BK beats the Bucks or even 76ers...I can see both beating them moreso the bucks though
